How long have you been making music?

Writing for about two years, playing live since February 2009.

What song would you most like to cover?

Susanne: Billy Idol's Eyes Without A Face. We've tried already but couldn't make a better version than the original so we gave up, for now. James: Charles Mingus - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat.
